CenturionPro GC3 Gentle Cut Bucker – Includes Bucker Stand
The CenturionPro GC Bucker is an operator-run de-stemming machine that requires the operator to apply gentle pressure to feed the stem in the machine. GC refers to “Gentle Cut” as we appreciate and understand how delicate flowers are. This bucker cuts the flowers off the stem, which prevents the large crown buds from breaking apart into smaller pieces. This keeps the structure of the buds fully intact preserving the look of the flower.

CenturionPro GC3 Gentle Cut Bucker – Includes Bucker Stand
The CenturionPro GC Bucker is an operator-run de-stemming machine that requires the operator to apply gentle pressure to feed the stem in the machine. GC refers to “Gentle Cut” as we appreciate and understand how delicate flowers are. This bucker cuts the flowers off the stem, which prevents the large crown buds from breaking apart into smaller pieces. This keeps the structure of the buds fully intact preserving the look of the flower.
Keeping with CenturionPro’s reputation for innovation, the GC3 bucker is pushing boundaries as the first-ever three station bucker on the market. Whether you buck wet or dry, the GC3 bucker will successfully de-stem your flower at a rate of at least 120 pounds per hour of fully hydrated flowers (at least 24 lbs dry). The GC3 triple-workstation bucking system comes with the stand already included for added value. The bucker stand comes standard with industrial casters.
In aligning with Centurion’s goal of being as gentle as possible can on your flower, this system also provides unparalleled processing capacity. The three workstations and multiple holes for various stem sizes pair well with CenturionPro’s industrial trimming machines such as the Gladiator and 3.0.
The GC3 comes complete with three 0.25 HP gear driven motors to provide unsurpassed power. In addition, this triple workstation features a cleaning system, which removes and collects all debris into a vacuum bag, making clean up a breeze. The system is easy to set up,clean, requires little maintenance and comes with a 2 year warranty.
Preparation for Use & Tips for Dry Bucking:
Environment Preparation
- Ensure adequate space
- Review electrical requirements
- Have adequate bins for product transport
- Cooler temperatures in processing room is beneficial
Plant Preparation
- Cut main stalk
- Seperate each individual stem (no ‘y’ junctions)
- Leave 3″ of stem for clearance into machine
- Ensure clean angled cuts for precise feeding
Feeding
- Keep prepped product stem side up for efficiency
- Size the stem to fi t the ideal hole
- Feed end first into machine
- Use variable speed control to adjust flow
Moisture Content
- Moisture content is critical for ensuring minimal damage to the flower
- Flower that is too dry will fall apart
- Flower that has too much moisture will compact and dent
- For best results with dry bucking, moisture content should be between 12% and 14% when using a machine
Bud Consistency
- Buds should be “springy”- when the flower is squeezed between two fingers it will rebound and return to its original shape
- Both big and smaller stems must be pliable when bucking with a machine such as a GC or HP System
- Pliable stems ensures that they fold and are stripped upon entering the bucking machine. If too brittle, they will simply break off and will not be properly stripped
Machine Speed
- Slowing the machine speed for dry bucking will lead to a better result
- Dry bucking at 1/2 or 1/3 of the regular speed will ensure better results
- The variable speed control off ered by our HP Bucker is a great feature when bucking dry material
